Traffic Citations

All traffic violations occurring within Ogden City limits and resulting in a traffic citation must be satisfied with the Ogden City Justice Court. Ogden City's Justice Court can only process charges made within Ogden City limits. If your citation was issued elsewhere in Weber County, please visit the Second District's Directory.

Court Appearances

Most traffic violations do not require a court appearance. However, failure to appear or respond to a citation within 14 days will result in additional fines, an arrest warrant, and eventually, suspension of your license.

Plea In Abeyance for Minor Traffic Violations (Traffic School)

If you have received a citation and have no other moving violations on your record for the previous three years, you may opt to ask for a Plea In Abeyance and complete Ogden City Prosecutors Traffic School. After your completion of traffic school, your citation is dismissed. You will need to contact the Justice Court or meet with the Liaison Officer to process your request.

You must pay $50 in addition to the cost of the citation and must appear in person to register.

If you do not qualify for the Plea In Abeyance program, you may call the Utah Safety Council at 800-933-5943 to discuss with them the Defensive Driving Course to remove any accumulated points on your Utah Driver's License.

Appearing in Court

Some citations are classified as mandatory appearance violations because of their severity and risk to the public. To verify whether your citation requires you to appear in court, you can either check the court bail schedule or contact a court clerk who will be happy to assist you.

If you wish to contest the charge(s) on your citation and plead not guilty, you must visit the Justice Court in person within 14 days of the citation and request that a clerk assign you an initial court date. During your court appearance you may request a trial (with or without a jury). Your trial date will be set by the judge at that time.

Court dates can be set over the phone for $5 fee, and an email address and/or fax number in which a documents may be sent for signature and returned to the court.
